Empowered Presence (Ages 10-12) July 28-Aug 1, 11-3PM:  Technique and Wellness Week for Pre-Teens  

In its third year, the Empowered Presence half day camp for pre-teen dancers provides a brand-new approach to learning movement. Introduction to body-mind awareness, our proprioceptive abilities, and imaginative impulse, we will connect to our bodies’ inherent intelligence and learn to listen to its wisdom. Dancers will have two daily technique classes in various styles that focus on empowered response: the art of choosing our next action, consciously rather than reacting. Focusing on how sound, words, music, and story influence our state, we will learn how to interpret cues and sensations in the body that communicate our needs. Special Guests will be with us during the week to teach us how to incorporate self-care and wellness practices into our daily lives.
